What domain_register does on CoWork OS
AI agents use domain_register to commit financial operations through CoWork OS, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.
Why domain_register is rated Critical
Registering a domain name involves entering a financial contract with a domain registrar, incurring costs (typically annual fees). This constitutes committing a financial obligation, placing it in the Financial category. Misuse could result in unauthorized purchases and recurring charges. The mandatory user approval step mitigates but does not eliminate risk.
From the tool's definition 'Register a domain name' — domain registration is a paid service that commits financial obligations (recurring fees). 'Requires user approval before proceeding' confirms the sensitive nature.
